Anymore Service Advisors REALLY hate when someone walks in who has actual mechanical hardware, and software knowledge. One of the reasons I just really hate going to any repair shop, dealer or non-dealer because I can walk in state exactly what the problem is and they get flustered that they...

Even so called "Experts" make mistakes, it just takes a real one to turn around and admit they got something wrong.

It's gonna take a couple weeks to get in to the dealer anyways, over 5 dealerships and all booked out past two weeks since I only have one Weekday available. I'm also going to see if the issue "corrects" itself. I had an earlier ordeal with my smart charging ports, the left one quit working for...

Except that Ford is trying to give me 3.2.220 which I already have installed. I stuck the USB in since I did that update, says it's done so I'm at an impass. It just didn't give me the XML file and it won't send the information sync is updated when it does it's monthly information update to Ford...

And authors can make mistakes on occasion and in Jalopniks case all the time.

Wish it were that simple but can't drive the truck across the apt lawn to where my unit is to hook up to my wifi, I sorta did that once with my Jeep but it was to reupload it's data for Appcar on my laptop and then I got it back in the parking lot immediately before there was a complaint. I...

Don't mess with that, Audible for road trips XM for short drives no need to screw with skipping playlists.

I prefer it over the local selection here. I can actually listen to 80s all day and not get something from another decade.

I think that is Race Red or Code Orange actually.

It does actually because Ford still thinks I'm on version 3.1.114 or something like that opposed to 3.2.220 and I believe there is a 3.2.255 now which is for the radio itself.

It's more than just quality of vehicle, I hold expectations that new vehicles will always have a kink of two. It's what the warranty is for. My beef and I gave horrible marks for is their Customer Service. Some of us work sun up to sun down, don't have an option to just phone in. Tell them that...

So tonight on the way home, I stopped, filled the tank up because I needed to. As I was leaving the gas station the radio goes dark. Okay odd, I switched sources to FM and well FM works. I try to switch back to Satellite and it won't even let me select it just clicks I touched it and that's it...

Since the Daimler take over and through the Fiat buy out Chrysler has been using German transmissions, which the ZF 8spd is a fantastic transmission minus it's little quirks I had with my WK2 Grand Cherokee. Depending on the manufacturer i believe most Diesel engines use a full cast iron block...

I'd be curious because I can't get a straight answer over what is actual weight for WK, though I'm rather surprised that a small Diesel weighs more than a "Hemi" Big Block. I get SRT8 weight from under 5k to nearly 6k in pounds. Both US T6 Ranger and the SRT8 have pretty much the same axle...

SRT8 is closer to 6k pounds. Ranger Ecoboost just over 4.5k pounds. Considerable difference in weight.

Boils down to weight which the Grand Cherokee is a bit on the porky side for it's size having owned one I can contest to that as they are a friggin tank. I got into a round of bumper cars and only damage was my expensive state blackout plate bent out of shape and plate bracket destroyed.

When the F150 Raptor first hit the market, dealership owner took one that just arrived off the truck out for a desert joy ride and promptly rolled it.

Why I back off a bit and then slam it because they don't see it coming and the momentum is there by the time they react when it's too late.

I find that weird as Bronco and Ranger are supposed to share the same Steelies.

Which I end up finding ironic because automakers have always complained about lack of uniform standards. EPA should be either disbanded or reworked from the ground up to be more sensible. I refuse to condone what VW did but it sent a message that diesel laws were too restricted and it hurt the...
